I know what 1Password is but haven't used it. Are there advantages of using it over Apple's built in keychain? Would appreciate if someone who has used/uses 1Password could comment on this.

I like it for a number of reasons (other wallet apps can meet these bars, as well):

1) It is very cross-platform. It works on iOS, Android, MacOS, and Windows. I believe that it is also Linux-ready.

2) It has the ability to sequester groups of passwords into "vaults," that can then be assigned in different configurations, for different accounts. This way, the Treasurer gets the banking login, and whatnot, but the Webmaster never sees them, and Treasurer never sees the CP login.

3) It seems to support a whole bunch of TFA.

4) It syncs over everything, and helps to enforce password hygiene.

I guess I’m the outlier in being very happy with 1Password and fine with paying for the subscription service. Not only is 1Password the best password manager I’ve used, but it makes it seamless to share stuff with my wife. I don’t care if 8 is an Electron app either, considering I usually interact with it via the browser anyway with their extension. (Also I know that the majority of what they wrote for it is Rust and…

$20/month seems a bit steep if you ask me. Otherwise I agree with everything you said. edit: I misread and was looking at the business page. $4.99/month for family and $2.99/month for user is entirely reasonable!

yeah. and I think its $50/year. It's the one sub that I'm happy to pay.

Still using v6 and not planning to upgrade

I was pretty stubborn at first, but honestly 7 has a lot of nice features, especially for families. You can also continue to use your old vault, though the announcement here seems kind of vague if this will continue to be true.

Thanks for tip, I might upgrade.

I was just disappointed that I would have to buy the app again in order to upgrade.. because I just couldn’t see why it wasn’t free update.

Damn. This is a huge mistake. I've used 1password for over a decade. I will happily buy an upgrade license. I just don't want another subscription to my credit card. This is rent seeking! Maybe I'll try bitwarden.

>People are said to seek rents when they try to obtain benefits for themselves through the political arena. They typically do so by getting a subsidy for a good they produce or for being in a particular class of people, by getting a tariff on a good they produce, or by getting a special regulation that hampers their competitors.

You may not like the subscription business model, but it isn't rent seeking. Monthly payment != rent seeking.

I'm considering to buy macbook soon and I was thinking about moving from KeePass to 1Password, as KeePass sync between Linux and iPhone was not very nice, but reading those news I'll keep using KeePass. I hate subscription software and I'll avoid it whenever possible. Also $3/month is just too much for such a simplistic service.\

Edit: if it's an electron app, my comment does not make sense, sorry, I'd never buy it anyway.

I haven't had a single bad experience with Bitwarden. I even pay for it now and still run it locally just to support them. Highly recommended if you don't want to be forced into 1Password's service.

+1 for Bitwarden I used to use Enpass and never had an issue but it's not open-source and you have to pay for Mobile client.

I'm in the same boat. Password sharing with my wife was a big plus for Bitwarden, and I got my kids in on it as well. I paid for the family plan and can share select items with my kids.

It's honestly fantastic to see how they have adapted to password managers.

I have bitwarden for my company stuff, and I find it .... very clumsy. The interface is nowhere near as polished as 1password IMHO

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Usually evident from Activity Monitor, if you see Helper (GPU), then you have an Electron app running.

Push cmd-R and see if it refreshes. 1Password 8 does.

This drives me bonkers, especially if I've been using the shell a lot recently and I'm used to pressing ctrl+r to repeat a previously used command.
